    IBM Stops Advertising on X As Elon Musk Continues To Endorse ‘Far-Right Viewpoints’ and Agrees With Posts Promoting Antisemitism

    San Francisco, November 17: Tech major IBM has stopped advertising on X as its owner Elon Musk continues to endorse far-right viewpoints and agrees with posts that promote antisemitism. Non-profit organisation Media Matters drew attention to the topic, saying as Musk continues his descent into white nationalist and antisemitic conspiracy theories, his social media platform has been placing ads for major brands like Apple, Bravo (NBCUniversal), IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity (Comcast) next to content that touts Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party.

    The company’s placements come after CEO Linda Yaccarino claimed that brands are “protected from the risk of being next to” toxic posts on the platform.IBM released a statement to the Financial Times, saying that it has “suspended all advertising on X while we investigate this entirely unacceptable situation.” Media Matters said that Yaccarino has been trying to bring advertisers back to the platform by claiming it’s safe for business. Elon Musk and Tim Cook Greet Chinese President Xi Jinping During Gala Dinner Hosted By US-China Business Council and the National Committee on US-China Relations.

    She also claimed that X (formerly Twitter) has been “demonstrating its absolute commitment to combating antisemitism on the platform” and that “antisemitism is evil and X will always work to fight it on our platform.” “But her boss (Musk) endorsed the pernicious antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jewish people are supporting ‘hordes of minorities’ who are ‘flooding’ into the country to replace white people. That conspiracy theory was the same one that motivated the deadly 2018 Tree of Life synagogue shooting,” the non-profit said in a blog post late on Thursday. X Rival Bluesky Reaches 2 Million Users Despite Remaining Invite-Only App, Company To Launch Public Web Interface This Month To View Posts Without Logging Out.

    X has also reinstated numerous accounts of bigots and paid far-right extremists, apparently including a pro-Hitler and Holocaust denier account, as part of its creator ad revenue sharing program. During all of this Musk-induced chaos, corporate advertisements have also been appearing on pro-Hitler, Holocaust denial, white nationalist, pro-violence, and neo-Nazi accounts, said the report.

    Amazon CEO Andy Jassy Warns Employees of More Layoffs in Early 2023 As Company Continues To Make Adjustments

    San Francisco, Nov 18: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has warned employees that there will be more layoffs at the company in early 2023 “as leaders continue to make adjustments”.

    The e-commerce giant publicly confirmed some layoffs on Wednesday and now, Jassy has said more layoffs are coming as Amazon’s annual planning process extends into the new year. Amazon Confirms Layoffs; Employees Enraged, Say ‘Horrendous Way To Treat People’.

    “Those decisions will be shared with impacted employees and organisations early in 2023,” he said in a statement late on Thursday.

    “We haven’t concluded yet exactly how many other roles will be impacted (we know that there will be reductions in our Stores and PXT organisations), but each leader will communicate to their respective teams when we have the details nailed down,” Sassy added.

    Amazon will prioritise communicating directly with impacted employees before making broad public or internal announcements.

    “This year’s review is more difficult due to the fact that the economy remains in a challenging spot and we’ve hired rapidly the last several years,” said Jassy.

    The company did not reveal the exact number of employees being hit although earlier reports put the number at 10,000 employees or 3 per cent of its workforce. Twitter Working on Feature To Split Long Text Into Thread Automatically.

    The massive job cuts have hit several divisions, especially the Alexa virtual assistant business and the Luna cloud gaming unit.

    “We communicated the difficult decision to eliminate a number of positions across our Devices and Books businesses, and also announced a voluntary reduction offer for some employees in our People, Experience, and Technology (PXT) organisation,” Jassy further said.

    “I’ve been in this role now for about a year and a half, and without a doubt, this is the most difficult decision we’ve made during that time,” the Amazon CEO added.

    Dave Limp, Senior Vice President of Devices and Services, also wrote an internal post, saying that “after a deep set of reviews, we recently decided to consolidate some teams and programmes”.

    “One of the consequences of these decisions is that some roles will no longer be required,” Limp said.

    Elon Musk’s Flip-Flop Continues on Twitter, Gray ‘Official’ Badges Back for Some Brands

    New Delhi, November 11:  In an ongoing flip-flop on the future of Twitter, Elon Musk has again brought back gray ‘Official’ verification badge for some accounts in select parts of the world amid a wave of impersonated accounts that hit major brands like Mario Eli Lilly along with celebrities in recent hours.

    The extra layer of “Official” verification has been brought back to counter such impersonification attempts.  Twitter To Roll Out Gray ‘Official’ Badge for Prominent Accounts, Public Figures.

    Brands such as Coca-Cola, Twitter, Wired, and Ars Technica now have the gray checks back, reports The Verge, as Musk said there are too many corrupt legacy Blue ‘verification’ check marks on the platform. However, these “Official” badges are not visible in all countries and most of the gray badges are visible within the US at the moment.

    There was no official communication from Twitter (the company has sacked its communication department and Musk is not the sole voice). On Wednesday, Musk killed the gray “official” verification badge after rolling it out for some users, including government handles, saying that the Blue check will be the great leveller on the platform. Blue Tick Subscription: Elon Musk Confirms $8 Twitter Verification Service in India Within a Month.

  • ‘TMZ Guy’ From Depp vs Heard Trial Gets His Own Figurine! Morgan Tremaine vs Elaine Bredehoft Spar on ‘15 Minutes of Fame’ Comment Continues To Win Hearts

    The Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard defamation trial has reached jury deliberation, with people expecting the verdict to be out on May 31, Tuesday. Who will emerge the winner? While we wait for the verdict, there is one person everyone is hailing as a hero. We are talking about Morgan Tremaine, aka the ‘TMZ Guy’ whose clapback to Amber Heard’s lawyer Elaine Bredehoft’s ’15 Mins of Fame’ comment remains fresh in our minds days after his testimony. And on Monday, Morgan tweeted a picture of his own toy, yes, a figurine inspired by his court appearance during Depp vs Heard trial.

    For the uninitiated, Morgan Tremaine, a former TMZ employee, testified as a rebuttal witness for Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard in the defamation case. Heard’s counsel fired the first salvo at the witness suggesting free publicity to be his motivation behind making the court appearance. Morgan first denied the speculation and then moved on to say, “I could say the same thing by taking Amber Heard as a client, for you.” Mic drop.
